Marcus' Digital Citizenship Journey In Section C: Final Project: Finding Interest on Pinterest

PLSo after a two week hiatus, I finally get back to this and I'm extremely with how it turned out. So here's how I made my chrysanthemum mirror.

First I went out and found a poster board and cut out a 19 inch diameter circle from it so I would have a base.

I then went out to walmart and got 2 100 spoon boxes for $2.48 each. All in all I used about 260 spoons. I cut off the ends of the spoons for use and yes i recycled the unused plastic. Then I placed a small hand mirror in the center.

That went on for quite some time and I just had to snap then manually which is pretty painful but it had to be done. Then I started to place them down with some homemade glue ( see Give It Back for details).

That went on for some time and I would just go inwards row by row from there.

And I finished it and it just needs to be painted now. But first let me take a selfie.

Yeah the mirror is pretty nasty so I used windex

Then I started working on a color schemed gradient from red on the outside to a pale orange in the center. I mixed some paint as I went inward to make a very nice and smooth gradient.
